IMPROVEMENT IN CARRIAGE-WHEELS.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of thesame To all whom it may concern.-

' Be it known that I, JOHN WILLIAM GUIDER, of St. Joseph, in the countyof Buchanan and State of Missouri, have invented a new and improvedOarriage-Wheel; and I do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full,clear, and exact description thereof, reference being bad to theaccompanying drawings and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

Drawings.

It consists of certain peculiarities of construct-ion to be hereinafterspecifically designated and setforth in'the following specification andclaim.

In the annexed drawings, forming a part of this specification,

A is the hub, having around it, on each side of the spokes, two metalrings or hands B 0.. These bands are permanently secured to the hub bymeans of the screws 0 e, the inner band O-extending the entire width ofthe hub, inside of the spokes, and the outer band B extending from thespokes to the bevel thereof, as shown in fig. 2.

D E are two annular flanges, having two sides at right angles to eachother; the inner side having a screw-thread surface, adapted to asimilar surface out within the inner portions of the bands B O. The

other side has a plain surface, and has its bearing To increase thefacilities for repairing, I construct a spoke, F, a little shorter thanthe rest, so that it can be conveniently removed, after which the otherparts may be readily separated, and the repairs needed effected with thesaving of time and labor.

The flanges D E are screwed upon the permanent hub-bands B 0, until theinner ends of the spokes are firmly embraced between them, after whichscrewbolts (1 (l are passed through said flanges and spokes, from theinside, as shown in fig. 2.

Having thus described my invention,

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the UnitedStates, is-

In combination with the wooden hub A and spokes F F, of acarriage-wheel, the metal bands B O and flanges D E, said bands beingsecured to the hub by screws 0 c, and arranged one upon each side of thespokes, each of said bands having a threaded surface on its innerportion adapted to similar threads out within the inner surfaces of theflanges D E, and said flanges, when so adj nsted, being secured by boltsd d, all being arranged to operate together substantially as shown anddescribed.

Signed at St. Joseph, Mo., this 25th day of Jami-- ary, in the presenceof two subscribing witnesses.
